Raiders bench QB Carr, will start Stidham for final 2 games

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! McDaniels not only will start Jarrett Stidham the final two weeks, including Sunday’s home game against the San Francisco 49ers, but Carr will be inactive. “I don’t think anybody feels like we’ve done enough offensively certainly in a couple of these games,” McDaniels said. “We couldn’t put enough points on the board, so I don’t think anybody’s really happy with what we’ve done.” Wide receiver Davante Adams, who also played with Carr at Fresno State, helped orchestrate a trade from the Green Bay Packers in March largely because he wanted to play with him. Right now, we’re going to get ready for the 49ers.” NOTES: McDaniels also said defensive lineman Chandler Jones and linebacker Denzel Perryman were placed on season-ending injured reserve.. Jones was playing better after a slow start with 4 1/2 sacks and three tackles for loss.
